Appointment Booking 24/7
Patients can book at any hour — not just when your reception desk is staffed. Integrates with Cliniko and Halaxy so bookings appear instantly.
New Patient Intake
Captures new patient details, reason for visit, referral source, and preferred times — then sends a clean summary to your team before the appointment.
After-Hours Calls
AnswerMate answers after-hours calls with the same professionalism as your reception team — booking for the next available slot and routing emergencies appropriately.
Cancellation & Reschedule

Patient Question Handling
Answers common questions about services, location, parking, referral requirements, and wait times — reducing front desk load during peak hours.
Emergency Escalation
Configured escalation rules for urgent calls — transfers to your on-call clinician or directs callers to emergency services without attempting to provide advice.
